Helping to build a

sustainable future for Shetland

Who

Energy Isles is a consortium of 54 mainly Shetland businesses with a strong desire to ensure that the benefits of our emerging new renewable energy sector are retained as far as possible within the isles.

What

Energy Isles was created to develop a plan for a large-scale wind farm in the north of Yell. The scope of the proposed development is currently for a 29-turbine wind farm that has the potential to generate up to 200 MW of clean electricity, sited in the north of Yell.

Why

The pace of climate change requires urgent reductions in our burning of fossil fuels for energy to avoid a potentially devastating global temperature rise of +2°​C. Our governments have committed themselves to strict targets for clean energy production - our project would help them meet those while bringing substantial financial benefits to Shetland.
